- The Falcons also appeared in the NCAA Division II Super Region One rankings on Monday afternoon for the first time this season. Fairmont State checked-in at No. 10 this week.

- Fairmont State has won the last two meetings with the Mountain Lions, but prior to that Concord had won seven straight in the series.

- The Falcons have held Concord scoreless in their last two meetings recording a 28-0 win in 2016 and a 35-0 victory last fall.

- Fairmont State leads the overall series between the two schools, 45-35-2.
